Neville Goddard on Ezekiel 27:8 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Ezekiel 27 in context

Scripture Focus

8The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.

Ezekiel 27:8

Biblical Context

Plainly, Ezekiel 27:8 views Tyre as an inner vessel. The inhabitants and mariners are the roaming beliefs and senses, while the wise men are the pilots who steer the course of your life.

Neville's Inner Vision

I see in Ezekiel 27:8 a picture of the inner Tyre, a self-concept with mariners and pilots busy on its deck. The mariners are your fluctuating beliefs and senses; the wise men within you are the pilots who steer the vessel by inner discernment. The kingdom you inhabit is not a geographical place but a state of consciousness. When I realize that I am the I AM, the navigator of my mind, I stop blaming outer conditions and let the pilots obey my inner assumption. By assuming alignment with a wiser self and feeling it real, the ship drifts toward the shore of my choosing. The sailors may roar, the winds may rise, yet the pilot remains present, guiding each moment. Thus, any external circumstance is a reflection of your inner fleet; revise the crew, and the voyage becomes smooth, purposeful, and true to your essential self.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Assume you are the pilot of your own consciousness; feel the wheel in your inner hand and affirm that you guide your life by inner wisdom. Then dwell in the sense that your choices now reflect that discernment.
